Meloni says will assess, no equivalence btwn Israel, Hamas

(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 22 - Premier Giorgia Meloni said Friday she would "evaluate" the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for alleged war crimes in Gaza against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu but there could be "no equivalence" between Israel and Hamas.
    "I will examine in depth in the coming days the motivations that led to the sentence of the International Criminal Court," she said after the ICC issued warrants against Netanyahu, his former defence minister and the late head of Hamas.
    "Motivations should always be objective and not of a political nature.
    "The Italian Presidency of the G7 intends to place the issue on the agenda of the next Foreign Affairs Ministerial to be held in Fiuggi from November 25 to 26.
    "One point remains firm for this government: there cannot be an equivalence between the responsibilities of the State of Israel and the terrorist organization Hamas". (ANSA).
